I went to see the second night of Frankenstein with the reverse cast on Thursday night - ( Benedict Cumberbatch as Victor and Johnny Lee Miller as the creature. )

The past few weeks I have mostly been watching Hornblower, because a) Robert Lindsey and Ioan Gruffudd are hot... extremely hot, b) there are pretty ships and swords fights and men in 18th Century naval uniforms and c) it's really just one epic love story between Horatio and whoever happens to be standing next to him at the time (or only Captain Pellew if you're me).

This weekend, however my Sherlock Holmes box set arrived and now I have 16 hours of Holmes/Watson solving crimes and gazing affectionately at each other.

Why would any girl want to watch schmoopy chick flicks when she could watch Sherlock Holmes and Hornblower?

Tonight I went to see the National Theatre's Live production of Frankenstein with Benedict Cumberbatch as the Creature and Johnny Lee Miller as Frankenstein.

I will try to do a review of some sort at the weekend once I have my mind sorted out about it, but I can say right now that BC gave such an amazing and emotional performance that I was moved to tears. He was absolutely outstanding and I adore him all the more.

Next week I'm going to see it played with the roles reversed, which should be interesting.

I'm also very impressed by being able to see plays and opera and ballet from the comfort of the a cinema in York. It would have cost a fortune to see that in London (and I don't mean the ticket price either). I will definitely be doing it again.
